CALHOUN'S DREAM.
An Anecdote Which Was Not Told at the
Monument Unyeilins.

Boston Advertiser. -
A correspondent of the Mississippi Wing has
cut from anonymous pamphlet an account of
a dream of MIR. Calhoun about the time of
the stormy sectional agitation which proceed
ed the adoption OF the compromise measures of
1850
Mr. Calhoun. it seems, was drawing up plan
for the dissolution of the Union, when. late at
night. being very much fatigued. he fell asleep
and had the following dream, as related by him
self:
Eat late hour last night, as 1 was sitting in
my room writing, l was surprised at the very
unceremoneous entrance of a visitor, who came
in and took a seat beside me- l was greatly an
noyed, as had given strict orders to the servants
that should on no account whatever be dis
turbed.
1.-The manner in which he entered, perfectly
self possessed. taking seat opposite me, with
out a word, no salutation no apology, as though
my room and all within belonged to him. excited
in me much surprise as indignation. AS
raised my head to look at him over the top of
my shaded lamp 1 discovered that he
wrapped in thin cloak which completely hid his
features from my view. and. as raised my head,
he said
What are you writing. Senator from South
Cardinal | did not think of his impertiDence
at first. but answered him, involuntarily: i am
drawing up a plan for the dissolution of the
American Union To this the intruder replied
in the coolest manner possible:
Senator from South Carolina, will you allow
to look at your right handP
He arose, and as he did SO the cloak fell, and
/ behelc-great God, gentemeD-I beheld the
form of George Washington,
'As though l had no power to resist ex-
tended my right hand. I felt a strange chill
pervade me at his touch He grasped it and
held 1t near the light thus affordne me time to
examine every feature oe his face. and particu-
larly of his person. 1t was the face of Washing
ton and he dressed the uniform of the
Revolution. After holding my hand for a mo-
ment looking steadily at me, he said in quiet
way:
land with this right hand. Senator of South
Carolina. you would sign your name to a paper
declaring this Union dissolved
II said: If certain contingency arises, I
will
Just at this moment black blotch appeared
on the back OF my hand. / seem to il
now What is thatP cried / in alarm. Why
is that black spot my handF
THAT said he, dropping my hand, is the
mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the
next world
He said no more. but drew from beneath his
cloak object which he placed upon the table,
on the very paper on which had been writing
1.-The object. gentlemen. was skeleton.
- There he said with emphasis. Here are
the homes of Isaac Hayne, who was hanged by
the British in Charlesiown. He gave his life TO
establish the union. And when you sign your
name to declaration of dissolution you may
well have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you.
He was South Caroliuian and are you; but
blotch on his hand
with these words he left the room. l started
from the contact with dead mans bones and
awoke. Overworn by labor / lad fallen asleep
and been dreaming"

The Dangerous Ginger.

Few people are aware of the extent of a pecul-
lar kind of dissipation known as ginger drink
ing. The article used Is the essence OF ginger.
such is put up in the several proprietary
preparations known to the trade or the alcoholic
extract ordinarily sold over the druggist
counter Having once acquired liking for it,
the victim becomes much slave to his appe
title the opium eater. or the votary of cocaine.
In its effect it is much the N ost furious of all
such practices for in the course of time it destroys
the coating of the stomach and dooms its victim
to a slow and agonizing death. The druggist
who told me about the thing says that ginger
essence contains nearly 100 per cent. of alcohol,
and whisky less than so per cent, the former is,
therefore, twice Intoxicating In fact,
this is the reason why it is used by
hardened old touers whose stomachs are
longer capable of intoxicating stimulation
from whisky. They need the power
full agency of the pure alcohol il the ginger
extract. He told me he had two regular custo-
mers-one woman. who had contracted the
occasions for stomachic pains. The relief it af
forded her was SO grateful that she took to it
upon any recurrence of her trouble. She found,
too, that the slight exhilaraton of the alcohol
banished mental depression. In this way she
got to using it regularly, and finally to
such excess that she was often grossly
intoxicated. Large doses produce quiet
stupor Additional doses induce a profound
lethargc slumber which will last in cases
for twenty-four hours. His other customer
a peddler who came at a certain hour every
morning, bought four-ounce bottle and drank
its contents by noon. The man craved the stuff
ardently that he unable to go about his
business until he had set the machinery of his
stomach in operation and started the circulation
of the blood by means Of the fiery draught. He
says that the habit is well known to the drug
trade.

BERLIN, April 30.-Oficial circles consider
that Germeny has a good claim to demand that
France shall cease from Official intriguing in the
German provinces It is believed that Prince
Bismarck is about to make urgent representa-
tons that, having proved good will in the
Schnabele case. France must now stop offenses
against international law by ordering her off
Gals TO refrain from fomentine treason in
Alsace- Lorraine. If the response of the French
government to these representations is
satisfactory, the Schnabele incident, it
is thought will become the starting
point out the greatest events OF the century.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a list of French
agents who have been arrested and convicted in
Germany, and defies the French government to
adduce a single where German govern
ment agent has been convicted of espionage in
France Hitherto, the paper adds, the French
government gents who were arrested have been
liberated after short detention. The cases of
the Danish Captain Sarauw, the poet Krazewski,
and the Belgian Jansen do not apply to the
French A recent intance OF the lenlency
of the German government is the
case of Lieutenant Lettieter who
was caught at Carlsruhe having in mis- possession
plans of the fortress and sketches, and who
liberated after his guilt had been fully estab-
Iished. This course the part of the govern
ment has been the rule towards other French
men. but a further observance of the rule the
Gazette declares is impossible. The Kreuz Zet-
ung represents that the increased irritation
among all classes in Germany must impel the
government 20 ask France to offer trustworthy
guarantees thss Germany shall, in the future, be
protected against officially permitted espionage.

precisely the reverse. A mans avocations

speaks of FESTIVE horse. meaning a rest

of that which it is commonly used to mean. and
the vulgar error is beginning to creep into rep
